    In Relation to Life

    Biological Relationality in Contemporary Science, Theory, and Politics

    Relationality as a concept and a framework has become an essential component of contemporary science, theory and politics. Its transversal importance has been evidenced through its qualification as a paradigm shift in the science, as a relational turn in philosophy and theory, and as a new end goal of politics. This conference aims at creating bridges between contemporary science, theory, and politics through focusing on the various ways they approach and integrate biological relationality, understood as the entanglement of living entities with each other at different scales (cellular, physiological, multispecies, ecosystemic, planetary, etc.) and with nonliving entities (pollutants, machines, matter itself, etc.).

    Language & Power

    5th young researchers Symposium ICODOC

    If language can exercise power, power can reciprocally manifest itself through language practices. It is, among other things, from an institutional point of view that the problematic of an “order of discourse” has been approached. Based on the effects of the performativity of language, the symbolic value attributed to it, and the patterns of domination conveyed by language, the research has shown that power is not an inherent characteristic of individuals, but is linked to the communication situations that imply it, especially in the institution. The legitimacy of language practices, far from being natural, is constructed by social norms and rituals which do not, however, erase the agentivity of individuals. These few thoughts raise the following questions: who exercises power and how? In what way(s) is power transmitted through language? How is legitimate language constructed and reproduced?

    Literature to Politics and Politics in Literature

    “Mouvances Francophones” (Vol. 10 N°1/2025)

    This issue of Mouvances Francophones (Vol. 10 N° 1/2025) seeks to understand the strategic role of literary works in shaping political action. The focus is on how literature shapes the construction of leadership, political vision, governance strategies and political action, on the one hand, and, on the other, how writers construct their works precisely within political thought, so that the literary text becomes the representation or deconstruction of a political program.

    The Press of Exile(s)

    Centré sur la question coloniale dans la presse d’exil, le congrès vise à discuter la liminalité des expériences d’occupation, de dissidence, de clandestinité et de bannissement dans leur rapport à l’expatriation politique, tant en raison des similitudes de leur impact psychologique que des circulations qu'elles tendent à favoriser. L’objectif est d’encourager les études qui explorent les idées, les images et les débats autour du colonialisme et des réalités coloniales mobilisées par les périodiques d’exil, tant dans leur diversité que mettant en exergue les convergences et les divergences.

    Pertes navales au combat

    Expériences, gestion et adaptations (XVIIIe-XXIe siècles)

    This conference examines the history of naval war losses from eighteenth through the twenty first centuries, forming the second conference of the Naval War Losses group with the parnership of French Navy Center for Strategic Studies. "Loss" here is broadly defined, but focuses primarly on the loss of human lives, forming its own unit of analysis to understand experiences and administration of, as well as adaptation in, naval warfare. This conference encourages analysis of losses in all forms of naval combat, wether at sea, underwater or above water via naval aviation, in cyberspace or beyond, as well as in amphibious campaign. It also encourages consideration of the role of medecine in preventing or mediating naval losses, alongside consideration of broader socio-technologies that shape the rates., recording, and reporting of naval losses.

    Telling stories / building worlds. Production and reception outside the West

    Journal « Communications » (2026)

    We are specifically calling for proposals on the phenomena of reception, and even remodelling, of western fictional worlds in other cultural areas. Above all, we hope to supplement this issue by looking at the variety of worldbuilding strategies: the proven and efficient methods of the Japanese and Korean entertainment industries, successful fictional creations in Indian, Nigerian, Mexican, Turkish or Brazilian studios, and even the production of highly successful fictional worlds in countries less renowned for their capacity for cultural influence. In addition to insights from narratology, media cultures and game sciences, the journal will be attentive to anthropological, sociological, legal and/or economic approaches, based on field data from cultural areas whose worldbuilding practices have been overlooked.

    Crises, emerging risks and resilience. Challenges for risk management in a changing world

    Revue « Laboreal »

    A global scenario marked by multifaceted crises - environmental, health, geopolitical and social - is challenging our ability to rethink real work, reduce risks and support productive activity. In both the public and private sectors, facing an increasingly uncertain environment makes it necessary to develop capacities to anticipate threats and manage critical risks in order to avoid crises and recover when this has not been achieved. Laboreal invites researchers involved in these topics to submit their work and contribute to the publication of this issue. Papers detailing field experiences, which provide access to real work, will be given priority. The articles will be published in one of the journal's two languages (Spanish or Portuguese).

    Women missionaries in Islamic lands: roots, limits, changes (early 19th century - early 21st century)

    Despite their numerical preponderance among the missionary workforce exercising a Christian apotolate at the end of the Ottoman Empire, women have long attracted less work than men. A rebalancing is in progress, spurred on by the gender studies and extended to the whole Muslim world. We will focus on real encounter and conflict situations, avoiding an essentialist approach to Islam and considering the extreme diversity of the field strategies and practices. This approach will be carried out in equal parts, in a decentering and critical way, far from denominational approaches.

    Apocalypse and dystopia in Italian and French literature, 1945 to the present

    « Cahiers d’études italiennes, Novecento… e dintorni », n° 42, printemps 2026

    Les intrigues dystopiques et apocalyptiques sont fréquentes dans la littérature récente et contemporaine. Pour en saisir toute la portée, il faut néanmoins les replacer dans le contexte historique constitué par la révolution scientifique (théorisée par Francis Bacon), la transformation capitaliste de l’économie, la philosophie de l’histoire (née dans la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle) ainsi que par les courants « messianiques » modernes auxquels ces intrigues apocalyptiques s'opposent...

    Overridden infrastructure. Governance and mobilities in African cities

    “EchoGéo” Journal

    Over the past decades, many cities have been developing new transport infrastructure and mobility plans. In the Global South, and specifically in Africa, these past years have been synonymous with multiple attempts to modernize mobility systems. Yet those models of mobility, along with the infrastructure that sustains them, are quickly overridden by unexpected uses, new technologies, new vehicles and means of mobility which may contradict these plans. Supposedly new means of transport of people and goods appear, which use recent technology, business models and infrastructure in a way that cannot be predicted by urban planners. Our purpose is to collect contributions that offer different examples of and viewpoints on planning, governance, actual uses of different types of infrastructure and forms of mobility across the African continent.

    Épidémies et maladies transmissibles. Des fléaux à travers l’Histoire

    Epidemics and Transmissible disease. Scourges throughout History

    The COVID-19 pandemic, which has spread worldwide since 2019, originating from China, draws attention to a recurrent phenomenon over the centuries, that of epidemics and transmissible diseases. Firstly, it is important to define the terms of the subject. An endemic disease is one that persists permanently in a given region, such as malaria. An epidemic occurs when a contagious disease affects a large number of people at a specific time. A pandemic occurs when the disease rapidly spreads to a significant portion of the planet.

    Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM): Power and Territorialization in the Global South

    “EchoGéo” Journal

    This thematic dossier of EchoGéo explores artisanal and small-scale mining through the prism of the geography of power. The craze for artisanal mining has to be seen in the context of poverty, as a desirable prospect despite the precarious conditions it offers and the great risks it exposes workers to. Scientific research and debate on artisanal mining have largely focused on these issues, often compartmentalised according to the regions studied and/or specific minerals. The aim of this issue is to examine the differences and similarities in the profound transformations taking place as a result of the expansion of this activity almost everywhere in the world, by approaching this diversity through the relations of power and territorialisation surrounding this activity.

    The body in higher/tertiary education, face-to-face and distance learning

    Contextes et Didactiques n° 25, 2025

    This call for contributions for the publication of issue 25 of the journal Contextes et Didactiques, scheduled for April 2025, emanates from the study day entitled “La place du corps dans l'enseignement tertiaire en présentiel et à distance” (The body in higher/tertiary education, face-to-face and distance learning), held at the Haute école pédagogique de Lausanne on November 22, 2024. The scientific event was attached to the trinational project: RESPIRE – Rétablir l’Expérience Sensible pour des Pratiques Inclusives, Résilientes et Équitables. This project explores the possibilities of preserving the synergy between the cognitive and the sensitive, including in remote modalities, through professional support centered on the experiential. We pay particular attention to embodied and contextualized knowledge, and to the ways in which it is transmitted, which we approach through sensitive experience.

    Archives of Archaeology: History, Plurality, and New Perspectives

    Depuis plus d’une vingtaine d’années, les archives de l’archéologie suscitent l’intérêt d’historiens et d'archéologues mais aussi d’archivistes et de conservateurs. L’exploitation de ces sources, qui ne se limitent pas aux seuls documents de terrain, s’est désormais imposée pour écrire l’histoire de la discipline, de ses acteurs et de ses multiples facettes socio-politiques et culturelles. La journée d’étude est consacrée à la présentation de nouveaux regards et usages des archives de l'archéologie, appréhendées dans leur plus large définition, comme tremplin d’une histoire renouvelée, sociale et politique, de l’archéologie.
